THE BIG PICTURE 50 DAY CHALLENGE
This
challenge is based on 50 short Old Testament (OT) passages that will help you get the BIG PICTURE of the OT without getting
bogged down. The Bible is our only rule for faith and life and the OT is not only a part of the Bible, it is the foundation
of the New Testament – we need to understand the Old in order to truly understand the New.
Some hints to reading
the Bible: 1. pray for understanding; 2. read the passage for the day, perhaps more then once; 3. reflect on the passage by
discussion or journaling; 4. apply what God has taught you from His Word to your life; and 5. pray again, asking God to help
you live out His Word.
Below is the 10 week reading schedule (5 daily readings per week). Cross of your progress
on the form below. Make sure you put your name on the form and turn it in on November 23. We will celebrate the end
of the challenge on November 30!
